Vinifikation The grapes for this wine came from some old (average age: 35 years) Chenin Blanc vineyards around Stellenbosch planted on decomposed granite soils. Minimal canopy management was carried out to ensure enough sunlight, but also to protect the grapes from direct sun exposure. The grapes were handpicked in the early morning and immediately pressed into holding tanks. We gave extended skin contact to extract all the Chenin flavors and ensure good structure in the finished wine. Only free-run juice was used and settled 1 day before inoculation with selected yeast strains. The juice was racked to barrels for fermentation. No new barrels were used to preserve the unique character of the specific terroir in the wine. After fermentation, the wine was aged for another 7 months on its primary lees before being racked and prepared for bottling.
